[torsen] pistons

The fee is minimal.. I'm willing to pay that out of pocket if someone can
provide a slug. Yes, I can deal directly with Wiseco. Looks like a run of
less than 5 sets is OK too, but bigger runs are better for timing and price.
I agree that the stock stuff is great, until you try to price a replacement
set :-)
Can we have a show of hands? Who's ready for a set in the next couple
weeks?Offlist since I'm in digest mode here.. -> antiriced at yahoo.com
